An Cheng, the patriarch of the Dark Temple, closed his eyes slightly, and a dark aura emanated from his body, spreading along his arm and drilling into Ye Chen's body.
He made up his mind to first seize the power of the bloodline, and then take action to deal with the ants on the grassland.
The reason for this order is to prevent Ye Chen from fiercely resisting after he takes action to eliminate the ants of the three great temples, which would affect his ability to seize the power of the bloodline.
The dark aura had already invaded Ye Chen's body, and Lu Feng below saw this and a look of joy appeared on his face.
Wasn't Ye Chen quite arrogant before?
When they encounter their ancestor, they have no choice but to submit!
Although after this, the Ancestor must ascend to the Immortal Realm or never interfere in the affairs of the mortal realm again, it doesn't matter, at least the goal has been achieved.
If it weren't for the fact that Ye Chen's bloodline power was relatively rare and powerful, the ancestor probably would have directly taken action and killed the people from the three major temples.
Ye Chen felt only one thing at this moment: powerlessness!
He was being choked by the Dark Temple Ancestor, and he felt an unprecedented powerlessness, a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time.
The last time, it happened when I was seriously injured and being chased by the people of the Netherworld Temple. I never expected that I would encounter the same situation now.
He felt the dark aura gradually approaching his dantian, the place where his bloodline power resided.
"Your name is Ye Chen, right? Your bloodline power is very strong, and I am very interested in it. I will leave my men with a complete corpse later."
After speaking, the Dark Temple Ancestor suddenly exerted his power, and the dark aura suddenly expanded.
Ye Chen's face grew increasingly pained.
Beneath the grassland.
The group of Shen Wuyan and his companions, who were lying motionless in the deep pit, could not see Ye Chen's expression. However, the Fusion Temple and the Dark Temple had done this kind of thing many times before, as they had been able to seize the power of bloodlines.
They had also heard of the painful and bloody aspects of it, and that if the person was already dead, then seizing the power of the bloodline would be very easy.
If this person is still alive, then he will suffer the pain of having his bloodline power stripped from his body.
The difference lies in the fact that the living must endure unprecedented suffering.
They were deeply moved when Ye Chen came to offer his help, but since Ye Chen was in danger, they were unable to provide assistance.
Even as the masters of the three great temples, they could only lie on the ground like lapdogs, unable to move.
The others on the grassland, needless to say, were basically ashen-faced, staring at the sky in despair, utterly helpless.
The current situation has reached a critical juncture.
Just then, a ball of flame suddenly appeared in the sky, and as soon as it appeared, it attacked Ye Chen and the patriarch of the Dark Temple.
“An Cheng, bullying a junior is nothing special.”
A dignified voice fell.
At the same time, the flames successfully swept up to the Dark Temple Ancestor. The latter snorted coldly, waved his sleeve, and a dark aura condensed into a black mirror in front of him, blocking the flames.
He looked at the fiery red figure that appeared not far away and sneered, "Red Codex? I didn't expect you to come out too?"
The fiery red figure was dressed in a red robe, and his hair, like that of Gu Teng, the master of the Crimson Flame Temple, was colorful and vibrant. Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that countless flames were burning on his head.
Upon seeing this, many elders of the Crimson Flame Temple knelt down, muttering phrases like "Greetings, Ancestor," naturally preceded by their own names, so that it would sound like "So-and-so greets the Ancestor."
Upon seeing this, the people from the other two temples instantly realized, "Good heavens, even the patriarch of the Crimson Flame Temple has made his appearance."
The situation today could be turned around.
The Dark Temple Ancestor, An Cheng, still wouldn't let go of Ye Chen. Ye Chen was a valuable resource for him; after ascending to the Immortal Realm, he would rely entirely on Ye Chen's bloodline power to help him improve his combat strength.
Chi Dian saw that An Cheng was still holding Ye Chen tightly, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his heart. In fact, he had woken up a year ago.
That year, while in a state of semi-dormancy, he secretly followed after realizing the intention of the three great temples to mobilize together, concealing his presence and hiding in the shadows.
Unexpectedly, it really came down to his turn to take the stage.
"Put down that cultivator Ye Chen." Chi Dian stared at An Cheng after breaking through the dark wall.
"Haha, you old codger, instead of sleeping peacefully, you came here to cause trouble. Once I've absorbed the power of my bloodline, the first thing I'll do is deal with you." An Cheng shook his head.
“You’re not the only one who has noticed the secret of the Heavenly Dao. Several other people and I have also noticed it,” Chi Dian continued.
"Oh?" An Cheng was startled. The others that Chi Dian mentioned must be the ancestors of the other major temples.
"Be careful, Ancestor."
Lu Feng suddenly issued a warning to the sky.
An Cheng immediately turned his head, and a long sword formed from the power of stars appeared out of thin air beside him, slashing fiercely at the latter's wrist.
His wrist was immediately cut open, and it was precisely this wrist that had been gripping Ye Chen. As the force was released from his wrist, Ye Chen's restraints were immediately released.
He quickly mobilized the immortal power within his body to run back, trying to get as far away from the Dark Temple Ancestor as possible.
But how could An Cheng let his lambs go?
He quickly chased after Ye Chen's falling figure.
The star-shaped longsword suddenly transformed into a giant star net, enveloping An Cheng and slowing his pursuit.
"What is this thing!" An Cheng cursed.
"Hehe, don't you recognize your old friends?" A deep male voice came from within the Star Network.
An Cheng shuddered.
"Xingci? You, weren't you seriously injured and recuperating in the Star God Temple?"
At one end of the giant star net, a human head suddenly materialized, with long, flowing hair that was neither the vibrant colors of crimson nor the pitch black of most people, but rather a purplish-black.
Half purple, half black.
This human head belongs to Xingci, the ancestor of the Star Temple.
"Chen Jian greets the Ancestor!"
The people from the Star Palace, including Chen Jian, immediately addressed Xing Ci respectfully.
The oppression that An Cheng had placed on them had been lifted by Chi Dian.
Once they regained their freedom, the first thing they saw was the enormous, purplish-black net that surrounded An Cheng.
When Xingci's head appeared, they all bowed and kowtowed to him with sincere expressions.
"Are you two going to break ties with me?" An Cheng looked at Ye Chen, who had already arrived at the grassland, and then turned to Xing Ci.
"More or less." Akademi leaned closer.
“An Cheng, the three of us have some unresolved grudges from the past. Now that we’ve met again, let’s settle them all together.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a delicate seven-colored fire lotus appeared in Chi Dian's hand. In appearance, it was exactly the same as the one that Gu Teng had condensed. Only a true expert would know that.
The fire lotus in the hands of the Crimson Ancestor was truly earth-shattering, a fire lotus powerful enough to destroy an entire force.
